Yep. Because the OG Grinch wasn’t creepy enough already.
You know the classic tale: The Grinch is the meanest one. He robs the residents of Whoville of their Christmas gifts and, well, overall holiday spirit, then realizes he’s not actually mean, he’s just never been shown love. His heart grows three sizes, gifts are returned, holiday spirit is restored, and everyone lives happily ever after.
Except the whole “everyone lives happily ever after” isn’t part of this twisted take. In The Mean One, Cindy is orphaned after the Grinch kills her parents and she returns, 20 Christmases later, to Frazier Park in search of closure.
(“Closure” means revenge, right?)
The Mean One streams for free beginning December 15th. No word yet which platform it’ll hit.
